Hermode Tuning A process that automatically controls the tuning of electronic keyboard
instruments, or the Logic Pro software instruments, during a musical performance.
Hermode Tuning retains the pitch relationship between keys and notes, while correcting
the individual notes of electronic instruments, ensuring a high degree of tonal purity.
high cut filter A type of filter that is essentially a lowpass filter with no slope or resonance
controls. As the name suggests, it attenuates frequencies above the cutoff frequency.
highpass filter A filter that allows frequencies above the cutoff frequency to pass. A
highpass filter possessing no slope or resonance controls is known as a low cut filter.
import, importing The process of bringing files of various types (formats) into a Logic Pro
project. Imported files can be created in another app, captured from another device, or
taken from another Logic Pro project.
input channel strip A type of channel strip in the Environment Mixer layer included for
backward compatibility with projects created in older versions of Logic. An input channel
strip represents the physical inputs of your audio interface and directs input from your
audio interface into Logic Pro. In general, you won’t need to access this channel strip type
in Logic Pro.
input monitoring A function that allows you to hear incoming audio when audio tracks are
playing, record-enabled, or recording. Click the Input Monitoring button on an audio track
to turn input monitoring on or off for the track.
inspector An area on the left side of the main window that contains the inspectors and
channel strips for the selected track. The inspector updates to reflect the parameters
relevant to the area with key focus (such as the selected track, regions, events, or objects).
instrument object An object in the Logic Pro Environment designed to communicate with
a single-channel MIDI device. An instrument object represents a physical or virtual device
that handles MIDI information. See also multi-instrument object.
interleaved audio fileLogic Pro typically handles multichannel (stereo or surround) audio
files as interleaved. Edits to interleaved files affect both (for stereo, or all for surround)
channels equally. See also split channel audio files.
key The scale used in a piece of music, centered around a specific pitch. The specified
pitch is called the root of the key. A key can also refer to a black or white key on a musical
(MIDI) keyboard.
key command A function that you can execute by pressing a specific key (or key
combination) on your computer keyboard or MIDI controller.
Key Commands window A window used for assigning key commands to computer keys or
to MIDI messages.
key focus In Logic Pro, the selected, active window is said to have key focus. Many key
commands will only function when a window has key focus. The inspector also updates to
reflect the parameters of a window with key focus.
key signature Refers to musical notation that indicates the key (and scale) of the piece,
or the current section. In the Score Editor, the key signature appears at the start (the left
edge) of each staff. See also key.
Lane Each MIDI event type (a note or MIDI controller) is arranged from top to bottom in
horizontal lanes similar to tracks in the Tracks area. You can configure the type of event
shown and controlled on each lane by setting parameters in the Lane inspector.
